But this week it is more about bookmanship--so thought more of you might be interested. Enjoy! rich Unpacking and cataloging books at the Josephy Library is a little bit like Christmas every day. I dig through things looking for the most essential things to catalog (there are boxes left to catalog, so someone has to prioritize!), schlep them to volunteer librarian Shannon Maslach at the bank, and she brings them back with neat little cards in them, or in nice folders that go in the new oak map case/file cabinet built for us by local cabinet maker Brian Oliver. This week it was a faded, torn covered copy of James Michener?s *Tales of the South Pacific...*. http://josephylibrary.blogspot.com/ rich.wandschneider at gmail.com www.josephy.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

On Wednesday, March 20, in Room 103 from 12:00-1:00, Professor Kimberly Jensen will present, "Oregon's Doctor to the World: Esther Pohl Lovejoy and a Life in Activism." Esther Pohl Lovejoy was the second woman to graduate from the University of Oregon Medical Department in 1894, served as Portland City Health Officer, and was a leader in both the 1906 and 1912 campaigns for women's suffrage. Lovejoy developed important skills in the public health and suffrage movements in Oregon and expanded them in her path-breaking work in medical humanitarianism relief from 1919 until her death in 1967 as chair of the American Women's Hospitals. Most disease, suffering, and death, she believed, were the result of wars and social and economic inequities, and she was determined to combat those conditions through organized action. Kimberly Jensen received her Ph.D. from the University of Iowa and is currently Professor of History and Gender Studies at Western Oregon University. In addition to her newly published book, Oregon's Doctor to the World: Esther Pohl Lovejoy and a Life in Activism (Seattle: University of Washington Press, 2012), she is also the author of Mobilizing Minerva: American Women in the First World War (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2008), and co-editor, with Erika Kuhlman, of Women and Transnational Activism in Historical Perspective (Dordrecht, The Netherlands: Republic of Letters, 2010).

Return to top of page Other Library News U.S. National Libraries Implement Resource Description & Access (RDA) [RDALogo]The Library of Congress, the National Agricultural Library, and the National Library of Medicine will implement a new cataloging standard, Resource Description & Access (RDA), on March 31, 2013. RDA builds on the work of the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, Second Edition (AACR2) and is based on the conceptual models of the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR). The Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) will also implement the new standard for authority records on March 31. Libraries will begin to see more catalog records with authorized access points and descriptive information that are based on these updated instructions. One of the most noticeable changes will be a significant decrease in the use of abbreviations. Local libraries outside of PCC are free to make their own decision about when to implement RDA rules in their local catalogs. State Library cataloging staff will begin creating RDA test records after July 1, 2013 and anticipate implementing RDA for original cataloging in late 2013 or early 2014. Resources to learn more about RDA include the Library of Congress RDA information page, the ALCTS RDA Series Webinars, and Introducing RDA: A Guide to the Basics. There will also be a session on "RDA for Copy Catalogers" at the OLA/WLA conference in April. Ione Library District Starting Operations [Ione]Oregon's newest district library, Ione, started its life in November, 2012, with the passing of its tax levy. The district was formed in May, 2012. Library service of some kind has been offered for the last 80 years in Ione, mostly on a volunteer or small budget basis. Located in western Morrow County, and encompassing the school district area, the library is starting to automate its catalog and upgrade its services. The Oregon Library Passport Program Off and Running [Passport]The Oregon Library Passport Program, a statewide patron-initiated reciprocal borrowing program, is off to a great start! Launched in January 2013, the program now has 88 participating libraries and branches and is continuing to grow. Sponsored by OLA's Resource Sharing Committee, the Oregon Library Passport Program recognizes that library service ought to mirror the way Oregonians live, work, shop, and play, and reduce barriers to library service. The underlying premise is that cardholders of legally-established libraries ought to be able to use other legally established libraries and vice versa. Libraries are opening their doors to patrons of other participating libraries, where they can use their local library card as their passport to libraries across the state. This addresses the long-standing goal of sharing resources between libraries that has been reflected in past OLA strategic plans. If you would like more information about the program, or sign up your library to participate, visit the website.

For example, you could sort by ADM (size by number of students) and then look for information on the websites of the top X number of districts.

This tome lists books printed in or distributed in the United States. It excludes non-English items, magazines, and non-print items.

Plan to attend the inaugural Science Boot Camp for Librarians (West) in beautiful Boulder, Colorado! Science Boot Camps for Librarians are immersive 2 ? day events featuring educational presentations delivered by scientists. Based on the successful annual event in Massachusetts, the Western version follows a similar format and will cover these 3 science topics: Bioinformatics, Environmental Sciences & GIS, and Physics. In addition, CU Boulder Librarians will give a Data Management Workshop, there will be interesting keynote speakers and we'll have a panel on women in science. And, of course, there will be time to network with fellow "campers." Cost: For (dorm) lodging, meals and instructional content: $250.00. For commuters: $100 (What a deal!) Registration: opens April 15th, 2013. Audience: Science librarians, medical librarians, data management people, LIS students. You, we hope. For further information on the program, travel to Boulder and soon, registration: http://tinyurl.com/BootCampWest Thanks to both the Greater Western Library Alliance and the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, Pacific Northwest Region for awards supporting this event! A complete list of sponsors is on the web site. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Updating is pretty easy, though. With parental controls you do not have to deregister, which is what we were doing previously to 4.1.0. You can also put the devices into airplane mode before they are checked out which turns off the wi-fi and helps conserve battery (this may have come with 4.1.0 as well- I can't remember). It's a little obnoxious to figure out these steps the first time around, but if I can provide any more info please feel free to email me at jutriest at linfield.edu . -Justyne ________________________________ ?

Instead, you may choose to restore factory settings, re-register, and re-load your content (optionally using Calibre software if the content is DRM-free) after each check-in. If your concern is that users will purchase content with your Amazon account, note that I was able to register a Kindle Paperwhite device to Amazon and check out library ebooks without supplying any credit card information. If you do need to supply a card number, perhaps you could remove it later or replace it with one of several dummy numbers used for card transaction tests.

I've used it in a test account, and it seems like it would work for libraries. Among the policies you can set are: Block social network integration Block web browser Block store Block factory reset & device de-registration Block changes to wi-fi settings The process for distributing purchased ebooks to Kindles is laborious, but I think no more laborious than doing it manually. I would love to hear from a library that is actually using it live, to know whether it really meets the needs.

The four programs offered by each rural library have a unique STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) angle assured by the involvement of locally-recruited science partners.

ISBN 978-1-57440-213-1 This report looks closely at college plans to restructure or alter space use in college libraries. The 190+ page study gives detailed data on college library plans to increase or decrease space for various departments and purposes, how they plan to develop and deploy their capital budgets, which types of projects and purposes are favored for the near future. The report helps librarians to answer questions such as: How many workstations will libraries deploy? Will the number increase or decrease? What about space allocated to information commons? Or to classroom space? What about office space? Collection space? Space for special collections? The report helps its end users to stay on the cutting edge, to find out what library planners are hoping to achieve in the near future. The study also looks at budgets for repairs, and for major renovations and gives data for overall budgets and on a per student enrolled basis. Data in the study is broken out by size and type of college, with separate data for community colleges, research universities, 4-year colleges and those non-research universities that grant MA/PhD degrees.

LCA reviewed the comments filed to date and concluded that the significant diversity of opinion expressed in the initial comments submitted in the response to the Copyright Office's Notice of Inquiry Concerning Orphan Works and Mass Digitization indicates that it will be extremely difficult to forge a consensus approach to these issues...In light of these fundamental disagreements, LCA recommends that the Copyright Office pursue non-legislative solutions such as continuing to make the Copyright Office records more accessible. Moreover, the Office should seek to bolster fair use in both judicial and international fora. If the Copyright Office does decide to recommend a legislative solution, the only approach likely to achieve consensus is, as we suggested in our initial comments, a one sentence amendment to 17 U.S.C. ? 504(c)(2) that grants courts the discretion to reduce or remit statutory damages if the user conducted a reasonably diligent search prior to the use. For more, see LCA's original comments(pdf) to the Copyright Office.

Author David Carr's purpose is to urge the staff of traditional cultural institutions like libraries and museums into a more proactive role in educating their communities. Libraries need to break out of the role of repository and embrace a vision of the library as an instrument of personal, social, and cultural change. Carr offers many ideas and specific resources to help library staff explore their role and how to make their institution into a relevant and active participant in the pursuit of knowledge and community engagement necessary for a robust democratic society.

What followed was a now legendary - and often tumultuous - multi-decade series of investigations into the structure of proteins, the nature of antibodies and antigens, and the properties of hemoglobin. Using more than 400 documents, photographs and multimedia snippets, and centered around a Narrative written by Pauling?s biographer, this website tells the story of the great achievements that led Francis Crick to describe Pauling as "one of the founders of molecular biology." Linus Pauling and the Structure of Proteins is the sixth in the Oregon State University Libraries Special Collections & Archives Research Centers? series of documentary history websites focusing on specific aspects of Pauling?s remarkable life and career.

You will have a better chance of getting an appointment if you do it right away instead of waiting until just before Legislative Day. You do need to make your own appointments with the Legislators. They prefer to make appointments with their own constituents so they need to hear directly from you. I have found that calling them is the best way to make an appointment. Usually they have very friendly staff who are very happy to set up the appointments. I usually follow up with an email to the Legislator thanking them for agreeing to meet with us and include a short sentence about some of our concerns, including the State Library budget, Ready-to-Read, county law libraries, and intellectual freedom. I don't go into any detail in the email since we will do that during the appointment. Go to http://olanetwork.wikispaces.com/OLA+Legislative+Day+Appointments and you will find a link to your Legislators contact information. After you make the appointment please fill in the information on the form. More information about the day may be found at http://olanetwork.wikispaces.com/OLA+Legislative+Day Legislative Day can be lots of fun and we will help you have some topics to discuss with your legislators. Nan Heim will be preparing a short issues brief that you may use. You will find that just talking about Ready-to-Read and/or other things about the library services you provide will fill the time well. You will seldom have more than 15 minutes with you Legislators and they are great at talking themselves so the time goes fast. See you there. -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Activities will include lectures, presentations, demonstrations and workshops, as well as three free Preservation Week-sponsored webinars. There is still time to prepare a public event for sharing information about preserving collections, and an Event Toolkit that contains resources for planning and promoting Preservation Week events can be found on the Preservation Week website. Two new online tools are available now: 1. the Event Map helps libraries promote their events and replaces the Google Maps that have been used during previous Preservation Weeks, and 2. the Speaker Locator helps libraries find preservation professionals to give presentations and demonstrations during Preservation Week or any time. Another new promotion tool for Preservation Week 2013 is a series of Preservation Week Quick Tip Cards titled "Save Your Stuff." Libraries can make them in-house or support Preservation Week by purchasing them from a printer. The cards give examples of items that need special care (textiles, scrapbooks, film, audio materials and others) and provide a link to Quick Tips for caring for that item. The reverse of the card explains the importance of Preservation Week. Please look at all the great tools that are available for you and your library to use to promote Preservation Week. New for Preservation Week 2013 will be an all new preservation advice column ? Dear Donia. What ?Dear Abby? was to personal relationships, Dear Donia will be for all your preservation conundrums! How do I store my grandfather?s letters home from the front? What should I do to preserve my family color snapshots that are fading? How can I preserve my child?s baby quilt made by her great-grandmother? To launch the column on Friday, April 26 at 11 am EST, Donia Conn will host a one hour live chat to help answer your preservation questions. In the meantime, feel free to send Donia questions via the Preservation Week?s Facebook page. Recognizing the critical role libraries play in preservation, the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS) in partnership with the Library of Congress and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, is proud to bring Preservation Week to libraries across the country. This national awareness campaign was developed to promote the understanding and importance of care for personal and community cultural heritage collections, such as books, documents, photographs, textiles, paintings, sculptures, furniture and decorative arts. ALCTS is a division of the American Library Association.

ISBN 978-0-8389-1119-8 Adults over the age of 50 constitute some of the most engaged and frequent users of public libraries. They may also be the most misunderstood. As Baby Boomers continue to swell their ranks, the behavior, interests, and information needs of older adults have changed dramatically, and Schull s new book offers the keys to reshaping library services for the new generations of active older adults. A must-read for library educators, library directors, and any information professional working in a community or academic setting, this important book * Analyzes key societal trends, such as longer lifespans and improved population health, and their implications for libraries work with midlife adults * Profiles Leading-Edge States and Beacon Libraries from across the nation at the forefront of institutional change * Discusses issues such as creativity, health, financial literacy, life planning, and intergenerational activities from the 50+ perspective, while showing how libraries can position themselves as essential centers for learning, encore careers, and community engagement * Spotlights best practices that can be adapted for any setting, including samples of hundreds of projects and proposals that illustrate new approaches to 50+ policies, staffing, programs, services, partnerships, and communications The wisdom and insight contained in this book can help make the library a center for positive aging.

[IMLS logo] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 18, 2013 IMLS Press Contact 202-653-4799 Giuliana Bullard, gbullard at imls.gov Video Game Design Is More Than Writing Code Webinars show museums and libraries how to get youth involved in the National STEM Video Game Challenge Washington, DC?Playing video games is a favorite activity for many teens and tweens. Video game design is a natural extension of that activity and creates new pathways for STEM learning and exploration of STEM careers. IMLS is announcing two free webinars, one for library staff and one for museum staff, to explain how to involve youth in video game design and encourage entries in the 2013 National STEM Video Game Challenge. IMLS is a National Community Sponsor of the Challenge, a multiyear competition inspired by President Obama?s Educate to Innovate Campaign. Webinar Details: Game Design Foundations for Libraries ? March 27th, 3:00-4:00 pm EST https://imls.megameeting.com/?page=guest&conid=Game_Design_Foundations_Libraries Game Design Foundations for Museums ? March 28th, 3:00-4:00 pm EST https://imls.megameeting.com/?page=guest&conid=Game_Design_Foundations_Museums To participate in either session, call: 1(866)299-7945 When prompted, enter: 9485763 Please note: this teleconference service WILL support callers from Alaska, Hawaii, and other locations outside the continental U.S. Each webinar will provide a framework for workshops that museum and library professionals can present to youth at their institutions. The webinars will cover the foundations of game design and how it can be incorporated into a museum or library learning environment. Participants will learn how game design can be effective in teaching core 21st century skills, such as systems thinking, problem solving, and critical thinking. The workshop framework provides engaging, hands-on, physical, and digital design activities that use free online game design tools. The webinar will also highlight the requirements for the 2013 National STEM Video Game Challenge, which is accepting entries through April 24, 2013. The National STEM Video Game Challenge is open to students in grades 5-12 (individuals and teams) using any game-making platform. Winners and winning teams receive laptop computers, a cash prize of $2000 for their sponsoring institution, and the opportunity to be showcased in Washington, D.C. and beyond. The Challenge website features a mentor resource kit, a hands-on workshop guide, resources on game design and STEM skills, and information on STEM Challenge events.

Libraries can make them in-house or support Preservation Week by purchasing them from a printer. The cards give examples of items that need special care (textiles, scrapbooks, film, audio materials and others) and provide a link to Quick Tips for caring for that item. The reverse of the card explains the importance of Preservation Week.

The ALA Washington Office has been working with Members on both sides of the aisle on this legislation and is encouraged that H.R. 803 would help to ensure greater participation of libraries in our nation's workforce investment system. In particular, H.R. 803 includes provisions that: - Ensure the state workforce investment plan includes a description of the actions that will be taken by the state to foster communication, coordination, and partnerships with non-profit organizations - including public libraries (under section 112(b)); - Ensure the local state workforce investment plan includes a description of the strategies and services that will be used in the local area to better coordinate workforce development programs with employment, training, and literacy services carried out by non-profit organizations - including libraries (under section 118(b)); and - Authorize public libraries that carry out employment, training, and literacy services as additional one-stop partners so they can better assist with workforce development activities (under section 121(b)(2)(B)). In addition, the ALA Washington Office would like to think Rep. Rush Holt (D-NJ) on his efforts to make sure that libraries were included in H.R. 803. Next, this legislation will move on to the U.S. Senate where it will have a monumental task at getting passed. However, we are beginning to reach out to the Senate to help ensure that their version of WIA reauthorization legislation also includes provisions that would encourage greater participation of libraries in the workforce development system. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/03/house-passes-the-workforce-investment-act/ -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Importantly, unlike child abuse reporting, elder abuse reporting is a "while in the course of your duties" responsibility. Cheers!

The open online course will bring individuals from diverse backgrounds and geographic regions together in an interactive online learning environment. SJSU SLIS award-winning instructors will spearhead this professional development opportunity. The MOOC is available to the public for free, and anyone can register. MOOC students will not receive college credit. The information school's first open online course, the Hyperlinked Library MOOC , will begin September 3, 2013, and it explores how libraries are using emerging technologies to serve their communities. The MOOC parallels content offered in a Hyperlinked Library Seminar taught by assistant professor Dr. Michael Stephens in the fully online Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) program and fully online Post-Master 's Certificate program at SJSU SLIS. Stephens and SJSU SLIS lecturer Kyle Jones, along with course assistants, will be the instructors for the Hyperlinked Library MOOC. Stephens has spoken about emerging technologies, innovation, and libraries to audiences in more than 27 states and eight countries, including a research tour of Australia and presentations for the U.S. embassies in Germany and Turkey. He has authored numerous articles, and he currently writes the monthly column "Office Hours " in Library Journal magazine, exploring issues, ideas and emerging trends in library and information science education. Jones is a doctoral student at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and teaches on topics related to digital tools, trends, and controversies. He is the author of several publications, including a book chapter in "The LIS Professional Commons and the Online Networked Practitioner" with Stephens. The term "Hyperlinked Library" describes how our connected world is transforming 21st Century libraries into participatory, playful, and user-centered spaces while upholding traditional values. It encompasses both physical and virtual space, as well as many types of libraries. For example, during the 2009 Australian School Library Association conference in Perth, Stephens presented the Hyperlinked Library model to teacher librarians. "School librarians could use the model to extend support for learning beyond the walls of the school library and engage with students, teachers and administrators in an open, transparent manner wherever the learning takes place," wrote Stephens in his Hyperlinked Library TTW whitepaper . He further explained, "Hyperlinked library services are born from careful trend-spotting, an application of the foundational tenets of librarianship and an informed understanding of emerging technologies' societal and cultural impact." More information about the Hyperlinked Library: . Read more about the Hyperlinked Library model on Stephens' blog, "Tame the Web ." . Download the Hyperlinked Library whitepaper written by Stephens. . Watch a recording of Stephens' Hyperlinked Library presentation at the 2012 California Library Association Conference. MOOC students will have the opportunity to explore the Hyperlinked Library model through recorded presentations and other content, as well as practical assignments that encourage students to apply what they are learning. For example, students will expand their learning by developing an emerging technologies plan and social media policy. Badges will be awarded as students move through the course, culminating with a certificate of completion. Stephens developed and created the Hyperlinked Library course over the last few years, drawing on experiences working with libraries located across North America and internationally, including Germany, Australia, Turkey, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. He will pull in global experts and resources as part of the Hyperlinked Library MOOC learning experience. Individuals interested in registering for the Hyperlinked Library MOOC are encouraged to immediately sign up for the course. An interest list is currently being formed, and the first 400 individuals to sign up will have priority registration.

URL: From calebt at multco.us Wed Mar 20 14:00:17 2013 From: calebt at multco.us (Caleb TUCKER-RAYMOND) Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2013 14:00:17 -0700 Subject: [Libs-Or] 10 years of L-net: what's next? Message-ID: Hello everybody On April 16th 2013, we will celebrate L-net's 10th anniversary! It would be impossible to thank everyone who has been involved, but let us say that we are grateful to have had the help of hundreds of Oregon library staff in answering over 230,000 questions since the service began. After 10 years of letting everyone who lives, works or goes to school in Oregon connect to a librarian by live chat, email and text messaging, now is the perfect time to re-examine the purpose and goals of the program. To start with: What are Oregonian's reference and information service needs that can be addressed by Oregon libraries working together? We need your help to find out. The State Librarian wishes to convene a task force on the future of statewide cooperative reference services for Oregon libraries. The goal is to determine how Oregon libraries, working together, can best meet the information needs of all Oregonians with available resources. WHEN: An initial meeting will be held the week of April 15th. The task force should report by August 16, 2013 and deliver an interim statement May 1, 2013 in order to mesh with current planning cycles at the Oregon State Library. L-net (soon to be Answerland) is currently funded through June 2014 and will continue to be hosted at Multnomah County Library through June 2014. The future and structure of L-net and statewide cooperative reference services after June 2014 will be strongly influenced by this statewide conversation. TO PARTICIPATE To participate, contact MaryKay Dahlgreen, marykay.dahlgreen at state.or.us, briefly stating your interest by March 29, 2013. SOME BACKGROUND: L-net was created in response to the collective expression of need by Oregon?s library community. In 2001, the Oregon Library Association?s Vision 2010 Committee wrote in ?A Call to Action? (http://www.olaweb.org/assets/documents/olaq_7no3.pdf) that we should ?Create a collaborative on-line reference service that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.? A year later, the Oregon State Library convened the Statewide E-Reference Task Force ( http://web.archive.org/web/20041210213421/http://www.osl.state.or.us/home/libdev/eref/eref.htm), which ulimately recommended the model that L-net uses today, including the use of LSTA funding to operate the program. In 2010 OLA?s Vision 2020 Task Force included collaboration in their vision, stating, ?In 2020, Oregon librarians will rely on dynamic professional networks ? local, statewide and beyond ? for resources, support and expertise? ( http://www.olaweb.org/assets/documents/Vision_2020_FINAL.pdf) L-net (www.oregonlibraries.net) has been successful. The service has received over 35,000 questions by live chat, email and text messaging annually, and over 200 people working in 45 Oregon public, academic and special libraries contribute to the service regularly. The Oregon State Library has a statutory responsibility to provide for statewide cooperative reference services as outlined in ORS 357.206 and 357.005 (2)(d). This has been reflected in the former Reference LINK program and now in L-net. Details of the current cooperative reference services are outlined in OAR 543 Div 60.

It would be impossible to thank everyone who has been involved, but let us say that we are grateful to have had the help of hundreds of Oregon library staff in answering over 230,000 questions since the service began. After 10 years of letting everyone who lives, works or goes to school in Oregon connect to a librarian by live chat, email and text messaging, now is the perfect time to re-examine the purpose and goals of the program. To start with: What are Oregonian's reference and information service needs that can be addressed by Oregon libraries working together? We need your help to find out. The State Librarian wishes to convene a task force on the future of statewide cooperative reference services for Oregon libraries. The goal is to determine how Oregon libraries, working together, can best meet the information needs of all Oregonians with available resources. WHEN: An initial meeting will be held the week of April 15th. The task force should report by August 16, 2013 and deliver an interim statement May 1, 2013 in order to mesh with current planning cycles at the Oregon State Library. L-net (soon to be Answerland) is currently funded through June 2014 and will continue to be hosted at Multnomah County Library through June 2014. The future and structure of L-net and statewide cooperative reference services after June 2014 will be strongly influenced by this statewide conversation. TO PARTICIPATE To participate, contact MaryKay Dahlgreen, marykay.dahlgreen at state.or.us, briefly stating your interest by March 29, 2013. SOME BACKGROUND: L-net was created in response to the collective expression of need by Oregon?s library community. In 2001, the Oregon Library Association?s Vision 2010 Committee wrote in ?A Call to Action? (http://www.olaweb.org/assets/documents/olaq_7no3.pdf) that we should ?Create a collaborative on-line reference service that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.? A year later, the Oregon State Library convened the Statewide E-Reference Task Force (http://web.archive.org/web/20041210213421/http://www.osl.state.or.us/home/libdev/eref/eref.htm), which ulimately recommended the model that L-net uses today, including the use of LSTA funding to operate the program. In 2010 OLA?s Vision 2020 Task Force included collaboration in their vision, stating, ?In 2020, Oregon librarians will rely on dynamic professional networks ? local, statewide and beyond ? for resources, support and expertise? (http://www.olaweb.org/assets/documents/Vision_2020_FINAL.pdf) L-net (www.oregonlibraries.net) has been successful. The service has received over 35,000 questions by live chat, email and text messaging annually, and over 200 people working in 45 Oregon public, academic and special libraries contribute to the service regularly. The Oregon State Library has a statutory responsibility to provide for statewide cooperative reference services as outlined in ORS 357.206 and 357.005 (2)(d). This has been reflected in the former Reference LINK program and now in L-net. Details of the current cooperative reference services are outlined in OAR 543 Div 60.

Below is the press release. I would like to thank the following individuals for their hard work on this year's Lampman Committee: Mary Parra Josie Hanneman Krist Obrist Ann Dondero Deeda Chamberlain Nancy Peate Fran Davis Kathy Street Becky Pearson Eila Overcash Kim Olson-Charles Carol Reich Carrie Bushman Press Release For over 40 years, Nell Colburn has been a joyful, calm, and effervescent presence in the Oregon library world. She is rightly called "The Book Fairy" by children in Multnomah County who have had her share stories, rhymes and songs with them. Her goal of putting not just any book, but really great books in the hands of children resulted in her co-coordinating the Raising a Reader program in Multnomah County for many years. The Raising a Reader program partners with over 400 early childcare classrooms and reaches approximately 40,000 children, parents, teachers, and caregivers every year. Nell has also been the story time training coordinator for Multnomah County for over ten years, providing library staff with the tools and training needed for consistent excellence in story times throughout Multnomah County. In 2009, Nell served on the Caldecott Committee and together with her committee helped select the best illustrated book of the year, The House in the Night, illustrated by Beth Krommes. Nell also co-wrote an early literacy column for School Library Journal for over nine years, reaching a national audience of librarians. Nell has a high standard of excellence with the distinction of being the easily recognized and remembered 'Book Fairy', bringing stories to life for children and their caregivers.

It would be impossible to thank everyone who has been involved, but let us say that we are grateful to have had the help of hundreds of Oregon library staff in answering over 230,000 questions since the service began. After 10 years of letting everyone who lives, works or goes to school in Oregon connect to a librarian by live chat, email and text messaging, now is the perfect time to re-examine the purpose and goals of the program. To start with: What are Oregonian's reference and information service needs that can be addressed by Oregon libraries working together? We need your help to find out. The State Librarian wishes to convene a task force on the future of statewide cooperative reference services for Oregon libraries. The goal is to determine how Oregon libraries, working together, can best meet the information needs of all Oregonians with available resources. WHEN: An initial meeting will be held the week of April 15th. The task force should report by August 16, 2013 and deliver an interim statement May 1, 2013 in order to mesh with current planning cycles at the Oregon State Library. L-net (soon to be Answerland) is currently funded through June 2014 and will continue to be hosted at Multnomah County Library through June 2014. The future and structure of L-net and statewide cooperative reference services after June 2014 will be strongly influenced by this statewide conversation. TO PARTICIPATE To participate, contact MaryKay Dahlgreen, marykay.dahlgreen at state.or.us, briefly stating your interest by March 29, 2013. SOME BACKGROUND: L-net was created in response to the collective expression of need by Oregon?s library community. In 2001, the Oregon Library Association?s Vision 2010 Committee wrote in ?A Call to Action? (http://www.olaweb.org/assets/documents/olaq_7no3.pdf) that we should ?Create a collaborative on-line reference service that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.? A year later, the Oregon State Library convened the Statewide E-Reference Task Force (http://web.archive.org/web/20041210213421/http://www.osl.state.or.us/home/libdev/eref/eref.htm), which ulimately recommended the model that L-net uses today, including the use of LSTA funding to operate the program. In 2010 OLA?s Vision 2020 Task Force included collaboration in their vision, stating, ?In 2020, Oregon librarians will rely on dynamic professional networks ? local, statewide and beyond ? for resources, support and expertise? (http://www.olaweb.org/assets/documents/Vision_2020_FINAL.pdf) L-net (www.oregonlibraries.net) has been successful. The service has received over 35,000 questions by live chat, email and text messaging annually, and over 200 people working in 45 Oregon public, academic and special libraries contribute to the service regularly. The Oregon State Library has a statutory responsibility to provide for statewide cooperative reference services as outlined in ORS 357.206 and 357.005 (2)(d). This has been reflected in the former Reference LINK program and now in L-net. Details of the current cooperative reference services are outlined in OAR 543 Div 60.

This group has had many meetings and discussions about what the Standards should do for us, what they should look like, etc. Now we'd like your help! Please respond to this survey (https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/QKS37KP) and tell us all about what YOU think the Standards should help us with, what they should look like, etc. We will have a draft of the new Standards to show you next month. Your input on this survey will help make that draft stronger and more relevant to the work of public library staff across the state -- and this is not your only opportunity to tell us what you think! We?ll be at OLA/WLA, with bells on at our own little table flagging you down to share our draft with you. Also, we?ll have our Division Business Meeting at 1:15 on Friday, April 26th. Please plan on attending and letting us know what you think of the group product to date. There you go, everything we can think of to tell you about the Standards project so far. Discussion has been great and we want to get you in on it. Please join us in this conversation! Thank you! Maureen Cole and Emily-Jane Dawson for the Public Library Division Board and Standards Committee PS We'll leave the survey open until after the Conference, but please don't wait that long! It will help us a lot to hear from you now-thanks! * The current Standards, for your reference, are at: http://www.olaweb.org/assets/documents/pld_standards_2010.pdf. For those of you who are really interested in all of the thinking which has gone into the project of revising the Standards, our minutes are posted at the PLD site. http://www.olaweb.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=295.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Happy happy birthday to L-Net/Answerland! I would also like to chime in and say what a fantastic job that both Emily and Caleb do to run this service. Caleb and Emily, you are both incredibly dedicated to this community that you have built, and you are both much too humble about the phenomenal work that you do. I thank you sincerely. I thank you not only for helping to building our Oregon library community, providing support, and advocating mercilessly for patrons, but also for being exemplary human beings and colleagues. I cannot sing enough praises from a high enough mountain to express how essential your work and you as people are to the Oregon library community. At this time I also have a question. >From the email I noticed that Answerland would *no longer be housed by Multnomah County Library after June 2014.* In a time when the State Library is also re-envisioning itself and faces budgetary challenges, what will happen to Answerland? Will, in June 2014, L-Net disappear because, although funds are through LSTA, the State Library cannot take over because of additional costs and responsibilities? While I would like to celebrate this momentous birthday, Caleb's and Emily's great leadership, and the volunteer work and partnering that has happened all over Oregon, I am very fearful for the future of Answerland after June 2014. Reading through the Vision 2020 statement I feel passionately that Answerland speaks to its every element: collaboration, people, community and place. So, Oregon librarians, what do you think?

It would be impossible to thank everyone who has been involved, but let us say that we are grateful to have had the help of hundreds of Oregon library staff in answering over 230,000 questions since the service began. After 10 years of letting everyone who lives, works or goes to school in Oregon connect to a librarian by live chat, email and text messaging, now is the perfect time to re-examine the purpose and goals of the program. To start with: What are Oregonian's reference and information service needs that can be addressed by Oregon libraries working together? We need your help to find out. The State Librarian wishes to convene a task force on the future of statewide cooperative reference services for Oregon libraries. The goal is to determine how Oregon libraries, working together, can best meet the information needs of all Oregonians with available resources. WHEN: An initial meeting will be held the week of April 15th. The task force should report by August 16, 2013 and deliver an interim statement May 1, 2013 in order to mesh with current planning cycles at the Oregon State Library. L-net (soon to be Answerland) is currently funded through June 2014 and will continue to be hosted at Multnomah County Library through June 2014. The future and structure of L-net and statewide cooperative reference services after June 2014 will be strongly influenced by this statewide conversation. TO PARTICIPATE To participate, contact MaryKay Dahlgreen, marykay.dahlgreen at state.or.us, briefly stating your interest by March 29, 2013. SOME BACKGROUND: L-net was created in response to the collective expression of need by Oregon?s library community. In 2001, the Oregon Library Association?s Vision 2010 Committee wrote in ?A Call to Action? (http://www.olaweb.org/assets/documents/olaq_7no3.pdf) that we should ?Create a collaborative on-line reference service that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.? A year later, the Oregon State Library convened the Statewide E-Reference Task Force (http://web.archive.org/web/20041210213421/http://www.osl.state.or.us/home/libdev/eref/eref.htm), which ulimately recommended the model that L-net uses today, including the use of LSTA funding to operate the program. In 2010 OLA?s Vision 2020 Task Force included collaboration in their vision, stating, ?In 2020, Oregon librarians will rely on dynamic professional networks ? local, statewide and beyond ? for resources, support and expertise? (http://www.olaweb.org/assets/documents/Vision_2020_FINAL.pdf) L-net (www.oregonlibraries.net) has been successful. The service has received over 35,000 questions by live chat, email and text messaging annually, and over 200 people working in 45 Oregon public, academic and special libraries contribute to the service regularly. The Oregon State Library has a statutory responsibility to provide for statewide cooperative reference services as outlined in ORS 357.206 and 357.005 (2)(d). This has been reflected in the former Reference LINK program and now in L-net. Details of the current cooperative reference services are outlined in OAR 543 Div 60.

To start with: What are Oregonian's reference and information service needs that can be addressed by Oregon libraries working together? We need your help to find out. The State Librarian wishes to convene a task force on the future of statewide cooperative reference services for Oregon libraries. The goal is to determine how Oregon libraries, working together, can best meet the information needs of all Oregonians with available resources. WHEN: An initial meeting will be held the week of April 15th. The task force should report by August 16, 2013 and deliver an interim statement May 1, 2013 in order to mesh with current planning cycles at the Oregon State Library. L-net (soon to be Answerland) is currently funded through June 2014 and will continue to be hosted at Multnomah County Library through June 2014. The future and structure of L-net and statewide cooperative reference services after June 2014 will be strongly influenced by this statewide conversation. TO PARTICIPATE To participate, contact MaryKay Dahlgreen, marykay.dahlgreen at state.or.us, briefly stating your interest by March 29, 2013. SOME BACKGROUND: L-net was created in response to the collective expression of need by Oregon?s library community. In 2001, the Oregon Library Association?s Vision 2010 Committee wrote in ?A Call to Action? (http://www.olaweb.org/assets/documents/olaq_7no3.pdf) that we should ?Create a collaborative on-line reference service that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.? A year later, the Oregon State Library convened the Statewide E-Reference Task Force (http://web.archive.org/web/20041210213421/http://www.osl.state.or.us/home/libdev/eref/eref.htm), which ulimately recommended the model that L-net uses today, including the use of LSTA funding to operate the program. In 2010 OLA?s Vision 2020 Task Force included collaboration in their vision, stating, ?In 2020, Oregon librarians will rely on dynamic professional networks ? local, statewide and beyond ? for resources, support and expertise? (http://www.olaweb.org/assets/documents/Vision_2020_FINAL.pdf) L-net (www.oregonlibraries.net) has been successful. The service has received over 35,000 questions by live chat, email and text messaging annually, and over 200 people working in 45 Oregon public, academic and special libraries contribute to the service regularly. The Oregon State Library has a statutory responsibility to provide for statewide cooperative reference services as outlined in ORS 357.206 and 357.005 (2)(d). This has been reflected in the former Reference LINK program and now in L-net. Details of the current cooperative reference services are outlined in OAR 543 Div 60.

And I admit, I was actually dreading for quite a while those rings from patrons who had discover me behind the chat button! But you made it easy for all of us. With your willingness to experiment, train and push forward trying different software configurations and different cooperative efforts, always keeping an eye for best ways to support the vision of this project, you not only helped patrons realize that help is at their fingertips but also helped staff develop confidence that this technology can be used effectively to connect with these patrons. So, thank you both for making chat such as easy tool to use for people on either side of this service, for your generous time training us and responding to our needs, for making the service so cost effective for our libraries (couldn't get cheaper for our local budgets, and I know I must thank the support of our State Library for this!), for connecting us as we serve individuals in each other?s districts. -tina ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tina M.

Donna Reed Director Portland Community College On Wed, Mar 20, 2013 at 2:00 PM, Caleb TUCKER-RAYMOND > wrote: Hello everybody On April 16th 2013, we will celebrate L-net's 10th anniversary! It would be impossible to thank everyone who has been involved, but let us say that we are grateful to have had the help of hundreds of Oregon library staff in answering over 230,000 questions since the service began. After 10 years of letting everyone who lives, works or goes to school in Oregon connect to a librarian by live chat, email and text messaging, now is the perfect time to re-examine the purpose and goals of the program. To start with: What are Oregonian's reference and information service needs that can be addressed by Oregon libraries working together? We need your help to find out. The State Librarian wishes to convene a task force on the future of statewide cooperative reference services for Oregon libraries. The goal is to determine how Oregon libraries, working together, can best meet the information needs of all Oregonians with available resources. WHEN: An initial meeting will be held the week of April 15th. The task force should report by August 16, 2013 and deliver an interim statement May 1, 2013 in order to mesh with current planning cycles at the Oregon State Library. L-net (soon to be Answerland) is currently funded through June 2014 and will continue to be hosted at Multnomah County Library through June 2014. The future and structure of L-net and statewide cooperative reference services after June 2014 will be strongly influenced by this statewide conversation. TO PARTICIPATE To participate, contact MaryKay Dahlgreen, marykay.dahlgreen at state.or.us, briefly stating your interest by March 29, 2013. SOME BACKGROUND: L-net was created in response to the collective expression of need by Oregon?s library community. In 2001, the Oregon Library Association?s Vision 2010 Committee wrote in ?A Call to Action? (http://www.olaweb.org/assets/documents/olaq_7no3.pdf) that we should ?Create a collaborative on-line reference service that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.? A year later, the Oregon State Library convened the Statewide E-Reference Task Force (http://web.archive.org/web/20041210213421/http://www.osl.state.or.us/home/libdev/eref/eref.htm), which ulimately recommended the model that L-net uses today, including the use of LSTA funding to operate the program. In 2010 OLA?s Vision 2020 Task Force included collaboration in their vision, stating, ?In 2020, Oregon librarians will rely on dynamic professional networks ? local, statewide and beyond ? for resources, support and expertise? (http://www.olaweb.org/assets/documents/Vision_2020_FINAL.pdf) L-net (www.oregonlibraries.net) has been successful. The service has received over 35,000 questions by live chat, email and text messaging annually, and over 200 people working in 45 Oregon public, academic and special libraries contribute to the service regularly. The Oregon State Library has a statutory responsibility to provide for statewide cooperative reference services as outlined in ORS 357.206 and 357.005 (2)(d). This has been reflected in the former Reference LINK program and now in L-net. Details of the current cooperative reference services are outlined in OAR 543 Div 60.

Starting today, a new national campaign will help others understand how vital these skills are so that everyone can access the power of the Internet. Public libraries, Connect2Compete , their national partners, and the Ad Council have joined together and are launching EveryoneOn. The EveryoneOn campaign mission is to empower people by giving them the tools and confidence they need to improve their lives through the Internet. Libraries and other community-based organizations are critical to the success of this national campaign in our communities across the country. Using public libraries as critical partners, the campaign will encourage people who do not regularly use the Internet to find free training opportunities already provided by libraries (and other community-based organizations). Libraries can add information about their digital literacy programs to the zip code locator tool to help people find help more easily. People looking for free digital literacy training also can call 855-EVRY1ON (387-9166) or text CONNECT to 30364 (English) or CONECTA to 30364 (in Spanish) to find nearby training. The campaign will teach the public about the importance of technology in developing digital skills via advertisements, public service announcements and social media activities over the next three years. "We are excited that libraries are a part of this timely national campaign," said Marijke Visser, assistant director of the American Library Association's Office for Information Technology Policy. "Libraries are in a unique position to address digital literacy because they provide public access computers staffed with knowledgeable librarians who can help patrons learn digital skills." 3.21 is just the beginning. A toolkit for librariesis available from EveryoneOn to make it easier to get involved in the campaign. You also can connect via Facebookand Twitter. And the Public Library Association , with funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services - another Connect2Compete partner, is launching the Digital Learning Centertoday. Librarians will find a hub of resources for end users (including self-paced tutorials) and for library staff (including curriculum and best practices). ALA OITP is proud to be part of this important work. http://www.districtdispatch.org/2013/03/putting-libraries-on-the-national-stage/ -- *Diedre Conkling** Lincoln County Library District P.O.

Questions such as these are exactly why we need a task force. I can't answer them. Our State Librarian, MaryKay Dahlgreen, can't answer them. We need the involvement of the Oregon library community. I feel strongly that the main question is not "how do we continue L-net" but one I asked in the beginning of the message: "what are Oregonian's reference and information service needs that can be addressed by Oregon libraries working together?" We have a successful program, and we have a vibrant community of library staff and volunteers who deliver it, and I don't want to see those things go away either. But it is much better to try to sort out funding and other issues now than it will be to wait until there is a crisis. Yes, yes, it is worth noting that announcing we will keep the current model until June 30, 2014 does sound awfully like a crisis. But not yet. The timeline is short and the work will be hard, but we will do it. I find it hard to imagine we would discard everything we have built and learned, but I don't think we should preserve it solely for its own sake. L-net is a group of people working together to provide service to Oregonians, and I am confident that if the group is willing, the service will continue.

You will have a better chance of getting an appointment if you do it right away instead of waiting until just before Legislative Day. You do need to make your own appointments with the Legislators. They prefer to make appointments with their own constituents so they need to hear directly from you. I have found that calling them is the best way to make an appointment. Usually they have very friendly staff who are very happy to set up the appointments. I usually follow up with an email to the Legislator thanking them for agreeing to meet with us and include a short sentence about some of our concerns, including the State Library budget, Ready-to-Read, county law libraries, and intellectual freedom. I don't go into any detail in the email since we will do that during the appointment. Go to http://olanetwork.wikispaces.com/OLA+Legislative+Day+Appointments and you will find a link to your Legislators contact information. After you make the appointment please fill in the information on the form. More information about the day may be found at http://olanetwork.wikispaces.com/OLA+Legislative+Day Legislative Day can be lots of fun and we will help you have some topics to discuss with your legislators. Nan Heim will be preparing a short issues brief that you may use. You will find that just talking about Ready-to-Read and/or other things about the library services you provide will fill the time well. You will seldom have more than 15 minutes with you Legislators and they are great at talking themselves so the time goes fast.

Yes, yes, it is worth noting that announcing we will keep the current model until June 30, 2014 does sound awfully like a crisis. But not yet. The timeline is short and the work will be hard, but we will do it. I find it hard to imagine we would discard everything we have built and learned, but I don't think we should preserve it solely for its own sake. L-net is a group of people working together to provide service to Oregonians, and I am confident that if the group is willing, the service will continue.

The upcoming seminar focuses on College Students, Technology, and Academic Workflows and will feature two presentations looking at different aspects of this topic. Finding Techknowledgey (Allyson Dean) In an increasingly digital world, college assignments require students to complete demonstrations of their competency in not only their subject, but in the technology needed to complete the assignment. This session disseminates students' perceptions around the hidden curriculum of understanding technology, having consistent access to technology, and knowing what questions to ask or resources to seek to succeed in using technology for university coursework. The Impact of Mobile Devices on Undergraduate Students' Information Practices (Anne-Marie Deitering & Margaret Mellinger) Six OSU undergraduate students were given iPads and followed over 20 weeks using case study methods to track how they integrated the devices into their information workflows -and how they did not. Analysis of the research data led to greater awareness of the cyclical nature of student information and study habits. Results suggest that students would benefit from incorporating technology into their academic rhythms early in their college career, ideally in the first year. Presenters: * Allyson Dean is Head Advisor and Recruiting Specialist, College of Education, Oregon State University * Anne-Marie Deitering is the Franklin A McEdward Professor for Undergraduate Learning Initiatives and Head, Teaching & Engagement Department at Oregon State University Libraries & Press * Margaret Mellinger is Emerging Technologies and Instruction Librarian at Oregon State University Libraries & Press When: Friday, April 12, 2013, 10:00-11:30am Where: Willamette Industries Seminar Rooms (3622), Valley Library, Oregon State University, Corvallis campus.

Many institutions have used grant-funded projects to enhance the level of care they can provide for their collections, and sometimes even to jump start their preservation programs. "Creating and Funding Preservation Projects to Enhance Collection Care" is a one-day workshop that begins with identifying and setting priorities among collection needs. With a clear sense of needs, the second part of the workshop reviews sources of grant funding available to your institution. The third part of the workshop addresses the key preservation questions asked on grant applications - participants answer the questions on behalf of their institutions, building the elements of a proposal for their own collection. The workshop emphasizes working collaboratively with colleagues to develop and receive feedback on project proposals. By the end of the workshop day, participants will have: * Outlined a preservation project proposal specific to their institution * Identified possible funding sources * Tested their ideas with other workshop participants Who should attend: Administrators and staff responsible for care of the collection in all types of libraries, museums and archives, with an emphasis on small-to-medium sized institutions without preservation grant writing experience. By registering for the workshop, the institution commits to supporting the attendee(s) to achieve the workshop's goals to develop and submit proposals for preservation projects to enhance collection care. When possible, TWO attendees from an institution should attend so they can work together on project development. Cost: No charge to the institution. WESTPAS is funded in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Registration: Pre-registration required.

Go to the Califa website at http://califa.org/limits.php for a description of the project and an online application. This four-year project is now in its third year, during which 20 rural libraries are offering public programs featuring reading, viewing and discussion of topics of interest to the general reader. The four programs offered by each rural library have a unique STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) angle assured by the involvement of locally-recruited science partners. All reports so far from participating libraries are enthusiastically positive! They report surprisingly good attendance, often by people from their local communities who have not previously attended library events. There is a very good chance that if you are a rural library and you want do a Pushing the Limits project next year, you will get one of these 75 grants of $2500 each.

Our patron asks: "...When I was 9, my 4th grade teacher mentioned an amazing library in Oregon that she visited. She said it was a whole street of houses, and each house held a different topic. When one would check out a book, it was done at the front door of each house. I always thought this sounded amazing, and it would be a dream come true to visit. For some reason, I always thought it was in Portland. Does this library actually exist in Oregon? Thank you so much for any clues about this :)" The patron adds that it was about 1992 when the teacher described a street of library houses. Whether such a place ever existed or not, we think it's a wonderful idea! But we are stumped. Have any of you heard of this either in Oregon or elsewhere? It's also possible that a street of libraries was described in a book rather than being a real location. If you recognize that possibility, let us know. You can reply directly to me and if an answer is found, I'll share it with the list.
